I need some help taking my site over the top.

Ok, i built the site for a small business and i believe it looks better than most sites in the industry. How do i get it noticed in searches and take it over the top and make it look like it was done by a professional. How do i increase the search hits. Has a cottage industry spawned with people who do this in IWEB. i want to maintain control of the site.
Your thoughts and direction

“Do only what is necessary to convey what is essential. Carefully eliminate elements that distract from the essential whole, elements that obstruct and obscure....Clutter, bulk, and erudition confuse perception and stifle comprehension, whereas simplicity allows clear and direct attention." — Richard Powell, in his book +Wabi Sabi Simple+.
"One of the biggest mistakes typical business people make with documents is going out of their way to seemingly use every centimeter of space on a page, filling it up with text, boxes, clip art, charts, footers, etc. Space, often called "white space," is good. Embrace it. Use it. Often, the more space you don't use on a page, the clearer your message becomes.
Empty space is beautiful, yes. But empty space also implies importance, elegance, professionalism. This is true with graphic design, but you can see the importance of space (both visual and physical) in the context of interior design. Think of the retail space, for example. Target is dedicated to design although they are a discounter. They know about space. Target stores are well designed. They have more empty space than other discounters, Walmart, for example."

  • Need some help getting my iTunes over to my new Mabook pro

    Hi:
    I am trying to populate the iTunes application on my new laptop with my song from my G5 desk top. I failed trying to burn the songs to a DVD. I needed three dvd's to hold all my songs. The process failed on disk one. But it did totally fill the disk with something as the is now worthless. it is not recognized by iDVD.
    Help need some ideas.
    Thanks

    Hi:
    Thank you for the reply, most appreciated.
    Did you burn as a data disc? Yes, I used iTunes "file/back up to disc".
    Why are you using iDVD to import you music?
    I had to use a DVD because I have many songs.
    The only error I got was that the first of three DVD's was not usable. I did not burn the next two.
    Thanks

  • Need some help killing threads (not in the way already mentioned..)

    I have read the ways in which we should safely kill a thread - and for the most part i understand that. But my question is HOW to implement it in the way that I need.
    Basically I have a multithreaded (ewww) app that really is a large job scheduler running 24/7. It can run anywhere from 1 to 15 jobs at a given time. This is fine. What i need is to have the ability to 'kill' a job when I need to. When the app daemon decides its time to run a certain job (based on business logic) it kicks one off, which is a class I made that implements Runnable.
    public class SchedulerProcessThread extends SOQBase implements Runnable{}
    when its time to start a job i do the usual:
    SchedulerProcessThread spt = new SchedulerProcessThread(blah);
    Thread t = new Thread(spt, "fooname");
    t.start();
    Now, this comes to my problem of where/how to kill the job (if needed). A SchedulerProcessThread is linear and finite so it will always have a termination point - it never loops. And when one is kicked off - i do not have a reference to it anymore - I mean, I couldnt if i am constantly running new jobs, potentially hundreds every hour. And jobs can be started in various places in the app, depending upon whether others are already running, etc.
    I wish to implement the do-while (alive) logic on the job thread. So in the 'run()' method of my SPT class, I would like the:
    while (alive) {
    doProcessing();
    But how can i invoke a method on my class [SPT] so that it changes the alive var from true to false when i do not have a reference to it?
    As a side note, I have a command prompt on the app whereby i can call up all the running 'jobs' which is a list of the running threads under a threadgroup called 'soqjob' (all new Threads that are started with a passing param of and SPT object are under the 'soqjob' threadgroup). So now i can see all those 'soqjob' threads which are currently running Thread objects that have been passed new instances of an SPT class.
    Is there anyway i can grab the 'soqjob' thread of my choice and somehow access my SPT class that was originally passed to it in the Thread constructor? if so, then I could pass in the command to stop the do-while loop.
    Hmm - does any of this make sense? If i can sum up, the problem is i do not know how to access my own SPT class once I have passed it into a thread object and invoked that thread object's 'start()' method. if i can do that, then i can switch the ALIVE var from true to false and thereby kill the SPT job i need.
    Any ideas?
    Many thanks
    Ian

    I would add a Collection (synchronized) to the Scheduler that holds a reference to all the Processes. Pass a reference of the Scheduler to the Processes so that when a Process is done, it can remove itself from the Collection.
    public class Scheduler {
         private Collection threads;
         public void addProcess() {
              Runnable runnable = new ProcessThread(this);
              Thread thread = new Thread(runnable);
              thread.start();
              threads.add(thread);
         public void removeProcess(ProcessThread thread) {
              threads.remove(thread);
         private Thread getSelectedThread(Component c) {
              //Find Thread in Collection and return it
         private class Action implements ActionListener {
              public void actionPerformed(ActionEvent e) {
                   Thread thread = getSelectedThread(e.getSource());
                   thread.interrupt();
    class ProcessThread extends ... implements Runnable {
         private Scheduler scheduler;
         public ProcessThread(Scheduler s) {
              this.scheduler = s;
         public void run() {
              while (!Thread.interrupted()) {
                   try {
                        doProcessing();
                        Thread.yield();     //Give the other Threads a chance to do some work
                   } catch (InterruptedException e) {
                        Thread.currentThread().interrupt();
              this.scheduler.removeProcess(this);     //Remove this Thread from the Scheduler's Collection
    }Did you consider using the classes java.util.Timer and java.util.TimerTask?

    That's not something you can do using templates or by
    dropping in a free
    script; it's pretty complicated. You need to know how to
    design a database
    and write server-side code. Dreamweaver will help you write
    the code, but
    you still need to plan and design the whole application. I'd
    recommend
    starting with a book. It sounds like PHP is going to be your
    best bet - does
    your host server support it? If so, do a search on Amazon.com
    for books on
    Dreamweaver and PHP, and/or ask for recommendations here.

    I have a cleaner copy now after someone suggested GIMP, so played with it last night - though couldn't figure out transparency - that was clear on converter- just not cooperative till these wonderful directions.
    So now I know how to do it without messing with the pic, and with messing with it - both good lessons and got a bit brighter color out of the deal.

  • Hi, can anyone help me out with this, I need some help on designing GUI for e-learning coursewares. Some tutorials or some helpful sites will do.

    I need some help with the GUI design.

    Have you tried the line inputs on the back of your FirePod? If you update its firmware (not sure if you will need to or not), I seem to remember hearing that the FirePod can run without FW connection, i.e. stand alone. In this mode with the outs from your mixer into line ins 1-2 (2nd from left on the back) it should work fine. I say should because I have never tried. However, these are used for returns from an external effects unit. I assume here, and the important word is assume, that there are two so that they can be used as a stereo send or as a mono send. Worth a try! Let us know how it goes.
    Best, Fred

  • Need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through

    Hi, I need some help understanding the way materialized views are applied through adpatch.
    In patch 1, we have a mv with build mode immediate. When applying it PTS hang due to pool performance of mv refresh.
    So we provide patch 2, with that mv build mode deferred, hoping it'll go through. But patch 2 hang too on the same mv.
    How does this work? Is that because mv already exists in the database with build immediate, patch 2 will force it to refresh first before changing build mode? How to get over this?
    Thanks,
    Wei

    Hi Hussein,
    Thank you for the response.
    Application release is 11.5.10.
    Patch 1 is MSC11510: 8639586 ASCP ENGINE RUP#38 PATCH FOR 11.5.10 BRANCH
    Patch 2 is MSC11510: 9001833 APCC MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV WORKER IS STUCK ON "DB FILE SEQUENTIAL READ" 12 HOURS
    The MV is APPS.MSC_PHUB_CUSTOMERS_MV
    This happens at customer environment but not reproducable in our internal environment, as our testing data is much smaller.
    Taking closer look in the logs, I saw actually when applying both patch 1 and patch 2, MV doesn't exist in the database. So seems my previous assumption is wrong. Still, strange that patch 2 contains only one file which is the MV.xdf, it took 7 hours and finally got killed.

  • Need some help in creating Search Help for standard screen/field

    I need some help in adding a search-help to a standard screen-field.
    Transaction Code - PP01,
    Plan Version - Current Plan (PLVAR = '01'),
    Object Type - Position ( OTYPE = 'S'),
    Click on Infotype Name - Object ( Infotype 1000) and Create.
    I need to add search help to fields Object Abbr (P1000-SHORT) / Object Name (P1000-STEXT).
    I want to create one custom table with fields, Position Abb, Position Name, Job. Position Abb should be Primary Key. And when object type is Position (S), I should be able to press F4 for Object Abb/Object Name fields and should return Position Abbr and Position Name.
    I specify again, I have to add a new search help to standard screen/field and not to enhance it.
    This is HR specific transaction. If someone has done similar thing with some other transation, please let me know.
    There is no existing search help for these fields. If sm1 ever tried or has an idea how to add new search help to a standard screen/field.
    It's urgent.
    Thanks in advace. Suitable answers will be rewarded

    Hi Pradeep,
    Please have a look into the below site which might be useful
    Enhancing a Standard Search Help
    https://www.sdn.sap.com/irj/sdn/go/portal/prtroot/docs/library/uuid/daeda0d7-0701-0010-8caa-

    A search help exit is a function module for making the input help process described by the search help more flexible than possible with the standard version.
    This function module must have the same interface as function module F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE. The search help exit may also have further optional parameters (in particular any EXPORTING parameters).
    A search help exit is called at certain timepoints in the input help process.
    Note: The source text and long documentation of the above-specified function module (including the long documentation about the parameters) contain information about using search help exits.
    Function modules are provided in the function library for operations that are frequently executed in search help exits. The names of these function modules begin with the prefix F4UT_. These function modules can either be used directly as search help exits or used within other search help exits. You can find precise instructions for use in the long documentation for the corresponding function module.
    During the input help process, a number of timepoints are defined that each define the beginning of an important operation of the input help process.
    If the input help process is defined with a search help having a search help exit, this search help exit is called at each of these timepoints. If required, the search help exit can also influence the process and even determine that the process should be continued at a different timepoint.
    timepoints
    The following timepoints are defined:
    1. SELONE
    Call before selecting an elementary search help. The possible elementary search helps are already in SHLP_TAB. This timepoint can be used in a search help exit of a collective search help to restrict the selection possibilities for the elementary search helps.
    Entries that are deleted from SHLP_TAB in this step are not offered in the elementary search help selection. If there is only one entry remaining in SHLP_TAB, the dialog box for selecting elementary search helps is skipped. You may not change the next timepoint.
    The timepoint is not accessed again if another elementary search help is to be selected during the dialog.
    2. PRESEL1
    After selecting an elementary search help. Table INTERFACE has not yet been copied to table SELOPT at this timepoint in the definition of the search help (type SHLP_DESCR_T). This means that you can still influence the attachment of the search help to the screen here. (Table INTERFACE contains the information about how the search help parameters are related to the screen fields).
    3. PRESEL
    Before sending the dialog box for restricting values. This timepoint is suitable for predefining the value restriction or for completely suppressing or copying the dialog.
    4. SELECT
    Before selecting the values. If you do not want the default selection, you should copy this timepoint with a search help exit. DISP should be set as the next timepoint.
    5. DISP
    Before displaying the hit list. This timepoint is suitable for restricting the values to be displayed, e.g. depending on authorizations.
    6. RETURN (usually as return value for the next timepoint)
    The RETURN timepoint should be returned as the next step if a single hit was selected in a search help exit.
    It can make sense to change the F4 flow at this timepoint if control of the process sequence of the Transaction should depend on the selected value (typical example: setting SET/GET parameters). However, you should note that the process will then depend on whether a value was entered manually or with an input help.
    7. RETTOP
    You only go to this timepoint if the input help is controlled by a collective search help. It directly follows the timepoint RETURN. The search help exit of the collective search help, however, is called at timepoint RETTOP.
    8. EXIT (only for return as next timepoint)
    The EXIT timepoint should be returned as the next step if the user had the opportunity to terminate the dialog within the search help exit.
    9. CREATE
    The CREATE timepoint is only accessed if the user selects the function "Create new values". This function is only available if field CUSTTAB of the control string CALLCONTROL was given a value not equal to SPACE earlier on.
    The name of the (customizing) table to be maintained is normally entered there. The next step returned after CREATE should be SELECT so that the newly entered value can be selected and then displayed.
    10. APP1, APP2, APP3
    If further pushbuttons are introduced in the hit list with function module F4UT_LIST_EXIT, these timepoints are introduced. They are accessed when the user presses the corresponding pushbutton.
    Note: If the F4 help is controlled by a collective search help, the search help exit of the collective search help is called at timepoints SELONE and RETTOP. (RETTOP only if the user selects a value.) At all other timepoints the search help exit of the selected elementary search help is called.
    If the F4 help is controlled by an elementary search help, timepoint RETTOP is not executed. The search help exit of the elementary search help is called at timepoint SELONE (at the
    F4IF_SHLP_EXIT_EXAMPLE
    This module has been created as an example for the interface and design of Search help exits in Search help.
    All the interface parameters defined here are mandatory for a function module to be used as a search help exit, because the calling program does not know which parameters are actually used internally.
    A search help exit is called repeatedly in connection with several
    events during the F4 process. The relevant step of the process is passed on in the CALLCONTROL step. If the module is intended to perform only a few modifications before the step, CALLCONTROL-STEP should remain unchanged.
    However, if the step is performed completely by the module, the following step must be returned in CALLCONTROL-STEP.
    The module must react with an immediate EXIT to all steps that it does not know or does not want to handle.
    Hope this info will help you.

  • My airport problem has returned big time --Need some Help!!

    Aloha once again:
    I though that this was fixed by simply changing channels on my airport router, but that fix only lasted for a few days, but now it's back and even worse. Let me give you some background on this problem. Here's my original message concerning the problem:
    I have my Airport Router connected to the Internet via DSLcable. I then tie my two computers into the internet via their airport cards. For about 6 months this system has been working just fine. Recently my desktop computer quit listening to the router and can no longer connect to the internet. It shows no signal strength and the name of the network on the Airport is not seen in the "connect to internet" panel. The same Airport works just fine on my LapTop and I am using it right now to get this message off to the internet.
    I have fixed permissions, removed the airport card and cleaned the connector, the antenna plug and removed the system configuration folder from library preferences all to no avail!
    This problem has been hounding me, intermittently, for over a year now What can I do to remedy this??? HELP!!!!
    Dan Page
    Maui, Hawaii
    The suggestion to change channels, that came from this original request, worked but just for a very short time. Now I have to shut down my computer overnight to get connected and then it only lasts for several hours and the connection quits.
    I thought maybe heat was a problem, but the last time it happened I opened the computer and played a large fan right on the card. This did not help. I shut it down for the night and it was fine the next morning for about 2 hours.
    One new data point; if I turn off just the airport on my laptop computer overnight, that will fix the problem for a short time also.
    Still need some help!!!
    Dan

    First, power off both the Time Capsule and AirPort Express.
    Wait a few minutes, then power up the Time Capsule first, and let it run for a few minutes.
    Temporarily, move the AirPort Express to the same room or close proximity to the AirPort Express and power it up.
    If the Express powers up correctly, power it off again and move it approximately half the distance between the Time Capsule and the general area that needs more wireless coverage. Try to minimize obstructions like walls, ceiling, heavy furniture, etc as much as possible.

    Greetings all -
    We have a set of oracle clients running on T5220 zones that need some help.
    If, for example, I execute the query "select (all) from dba_objects", trace output reports 90% of the elapsed time spent under "SQLNet message from client".
    Here are OS details for the clients: Solaris 10 5/08 s10s_u5wos_10 SPARC
    Running "uname -a" from the client gives:
    (SunOS bmc-ste-app 5.10 Generic_127127-11 sun4v sparc SUNW,SPARC-Enterprise-T5220)
    Here are OS details for the dataserver: Enterprise Linux Enterprise Linux Server release 5.2
    Running "uname -a" from the dataserver gives:
    (2.6.18-92.1.6.0.2.el5 #1 SMP Thu Jun 26 17:44:55 EDT 2008 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux)
    The RDBMS is 10.2.0.4
    Again, please note, there is no application in the picture here. We are just running a simple catalog query (select * from dba_objects) from sqlplus. Why the wait on something like this? The wait also occurs when a different query is used (select (all) from SYS.COL$ where rownum < 50000). And it doesn't matter if I used the full client or the instant client. I still get the same high-wait.
    We had thought - maybe this is a network thing - so we put a test client on the same subnet as the dataserver. This helped - but not enough. The wait is still way too high even with firewalls taken out of the equation.
    We've also looked at arraysize, SDU, kernel settings. And we've spent time going over tkprof, truss and sqlnet-tracing.
    Has anyone ever had to solve this HIGH WAIT ON CLIENT issue? Is there a work around or some tweak I'm missing.
    Is anyone configured like we are (linux dataserver, solaris clients)? If so - did you see anything like this?

    Hello,
    We have the exact same issue. Did you ever solve this issue? We have a t5220 and have just upgraded our 11.5.10.2 11i system on it from 9.2.0.8 32-bit sparc to 11.2.0.1 64-bit sparc. Things should be faster but arent, and our consultant has tracked it down to high wait times when the apps tier using forms connects to the database tier on the same box. So even though the t5220 is both server and client, there is something about the client sql connection.through TNS that his having trouble. Thanks for any information. We've also created an S/R with Oracle.
    Note: I am well aware of the other issues with the CMT server series but this particular issue seems independent of the regular / known issues and remains a mystery to us. Other known issues with the CMT servers for SPARC:
